With that being said, an inverse head & shoulders could be in the making at this juncture. Bullish commitments around 1.0300/50 would be forming the right-hand shoulder of the bullish pattern.

The bears will be back in control on a break of 1.0220.

EUR/USD H4 charts

The bulls need to hold 1.0350 and get on the back side of the micro bearish trendline resistance on the 4-hour chart or face risks of a break below 1.0300.
